Nah. Compared to the regular wagon, the lifted version just looks wrong. Too high and too long. The cladding isn’t agregious, but it doesn’t help.

Seriously, the BRZ has twice the horsepower of half the cars I’ve owned, and a better power to weight ratio than the vast majority of them, and all my cars have been praiseworthy drivers cars (well maybe not my CRZ, I’m hoping sticky tires help.) I’m really hoping to upgrade to a Toyota 86 when the time comes. I…
Having actually been around VIR, I’d take the BRZ. A slow car fast is more fun than a fast car slow.

This focus on 0-60 time is stupid. Cars aren’t one-dimensional - there’s so much more to the driving experience. For Porsches in particular, the steering, handling and braking are sublime, even compared to a GTI. And the luxe interior blows away cheaper cars.
The main contributor to this problem is higher beltlines to better deal with side impacts from an increasing number of light trucks on the road.
It’s so true though, It really hits you when you are used to driving an aquarium on wheels and you get in a newer car. The panaraomic windscreen and all the glass around you in my giulia (above) is so amazing compared to new cars with their massive blindspots.
Have we gotten to the point where makeing cars safer and…
